Aptamer Scientist

‍

Sweat is a molecular window into human health. At MoleSense, we are building a continuous, multiplexed aptasensing interface to selectively detect ovarian hormones and inflammatory proteins. We are a small, fearless team of scientists and engineers combining imagination with hard work to transform healthcare, starting with the maternity continuum.

‍

Know who should apply?

✔ Highly accomplished MSc or PhD graduates in Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Biophysics, Analytical Chemistry, or Synthetic Biology

✔ Demonstrated, hands-on experience with:

• SELEX variants (small and big-molecule)
• Affinity and kinetic optimization (pM range)
• Structure-switching / conformation-responsive aptamers
• Computational modeling of nucleic acid structure and dynamics
• Aptamer selection, characterization, and validation
• ML-enabled macromolecular design or optimization

✔ Experience working with real biological samples, not only buffer systems

‍

Please Do Not Apply If:

✘ You performed SELEX only once during your PhD.
✘ You shadowed someone else running SELEX.
✘ You purchased aptamers, dropped them onto an electrode, and it worked, and you wrote a paper.

‍

Start date: As soon as possible.
